The theme for the 15th World Assembly, 2026, of the World Federation of Methodist and Uniting Church Women Assembly is “Arise and Shine for the Glory of God is Upon You” and is taken from Isaiah 60:1 (“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.”)

The 15th World Assembly is being held at the Due Drop Events Centre, Auckland, New Zealand.
